Working in Ystalyfera

In Ystalyfera we cover SA9; we also cover Neath, 7.3 miles away, and Clydach.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ystalyfera: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning a wet room in Ystalyfera for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. We quote wet rooms in Ystalyfera only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Most of Powys is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Ystalyfera, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, Part H covers new drainage and the Welsh Part F sets similar extract rates. The Welsh Part P makes more electrical work notifiable than in England, so the electrician should notify and certify the work.

Wet rooms in Ystalyfera: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Ystalyfera?

A wet room in Ystalyfera usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the home survey in Ystalyfera really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SA9 in Ystalyfera?

Yes. We cover all of Ystalyfera, including SA9, and nearby Neath, Clydach and Ammanford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
